Mime

I have caressed this
rapturous book of silence
with which to tell you my mind.
Laced throughout are
obscene gestures,
genuinely obsequious,
ultimately polite,
which have prevented us
from touching,
from tracing eternity
along starlit paths of skin
strategically slippery,
here a pearl of spit,
there diamonds of eye light.

Hi Tiel! It is a wonderful carnival! I'm glad I got to have a word with the doctor. I feel much better now. I hope he does too.
